India, Feb. 17 -- Almost 37 members of the Giri family in Delhi's Prem Nagar were supposed to travel from Delhi to Prayagraj to attend Kumbh but only six got tickets in "tatkal," and one among those was Silam. Her sister-in-law, Meena Devi, told HT, "She was going with her husband and their four children. Around 10pm, we got a call from her son Aman who told us that scores of people walked over him and his mother. While he survived, she died." Her husband, Umesh, who runs a printing press in Rohini, suffered a fracture on his leg. "Why didn't the government not make proper arrangements? Why was there inadequate security?" asked Meena. She said that Seelam wanted to go to Kumbh to seek blessings after her daughter got married in November.
